charged by weekly newspapers for one

and reaching daily a number of post-oflices

A BO UT ADVKltTISIXtJ.
No one will deny that a great deul
of money is thrown away every year
on advertising schemes which are
plausible enough when presented with
a nourisn uy a icrsua$ivc tonguetl
stranger, but which, very shortly after
the lucre is lunded over and the re-
cipieut far away, proves a ''snare and
a delusion." Our Oxford jieople have
had their punes lightened more than
nnri in this wnv. Irfif im.itiv iiwli

'Hie following from the Southern
lobiica Jvurna! of Danville, is well
put and full of solid facts as an egg is
of meat:
Winston eople have been consider!
mg a proportion to spend 52,000 vith
the New York World in advertising
thetown. Eight Ictttrsare to be print-
inhcW.a.5i5.oeach. A good
deal of sensible opposition is shown to
deal
the movement some ot tne citizens
favoring the expenditure of the money
in the home papers.
I: is surprising to note the amount
of money which bouthern towns have
st)cnt with Northern papers. These
journals send down their u lib-ton cued
correspondents ho cxplialc upon the
Dig circulations 01 tneir papers, ana
otr.e how or other our people general-
iv bite at the cuttennc txttt. it is
time to call a halt to this kind of fool
ishness. God knows we have wasted
enough money in this line. Jf the
town U to be advertked let the home
ixijjer dci it. The 'sum of $500 will
go a long wty in getting out special
issues of our bouthern weeklies or dai
lies, but with the big Northern paper
it don't count for much. If you have
money to spend for advertising let the
patient, hardworking editor of your
local jiajKT have the firt chance. He
deserves more than you will ever give
him anvhow. It looks more like
helping voursclf if you adwrtie in
your home jupcr, and this kind of
advertising will do ten times more

will get from a Northern jiaper.

that it is so; but it is, in a very large
measure, wing to our virtue. Laugh-
ter.T Naturally there was laughter
at the concluding hall of ths last sen-
tencc. Mr. Reed talking of virtue and
"m connection with the Republican
rvirtv a.i thit was too much even in the
midst of admiring friends. They laugh
ed at Ihe absurdity of the idea.
The gains the Democrats are niak
ing unexpectedly in heretofore impreg
nable Republican strongholds are sig
nificant signs of the general dissatis
faction of the eople against President
Harrison and the blundering and plun
dering olicy of his party. The next
House of Representatives will be pro
nounced Democratic in complexion.
Oxl way to help to make a com
munity prosperous is to encouragi
home industries. Buy the products of
the local manufactories in preference
to foreign concerns. Keep the money
as far as possible circulating among
our own people, instead of sending it
ar away and away forever.
The county commissioners of Gran-
vilio did the handsome and proper
thing in appropriating three hundred
dollars a year to the maintenance of
the Granville Grays. They appreciate
the value of our military company.and
The Day applauds generosity thus
wisely bestowed. ,
There will be tall kicking when the
McKinJey tariff bill is brought betore
the House. The Republicans are far
fromt being united in its support, and
the Democrats will co their whole
length to acquaint the people with its
rottenness
